GREEN LIVING

by Jason Prescod

The purpose of my project in New Cross is to provide an alternative vision for temporary housing in the borough. The goal is to create a new high-density low-rise housing scheme which responds to as well as offers creative re-imagining of the existing master plan vision. This is accomplished through the idea of 3 types of residences being brought together through a continuous and coherent landscape and greening strategy, where each housing type contains its own green outdoor space and the site as a whole is brought together by a shared outdoor garden that creates a sense of community at different scales.
